But that can be hard to find, which has led <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yasamin.page\/hdnet_tiktok\">researchers<\/a> to look in some pretty creative places.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Sdgyu0\">The above video shows how researchers used TikTok dances and the <a href=\"https:\/\/google.github.io\/mannequinchallenge\/www\/index.html\">Mannequin Challenge<\/a> to train AI. The quest is for \u201cground truth\u201d \u2014 real-world examples that can be used to train or grade an AI on its guesses. TikTok datasets provide this by showing lots of movement, clothing types, backgrounds, and people. That diversity is key to train a model that can handle the randomness of the real world.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9hd0ki\">The same thing happens with the Mannequin Challenge. All those people pretending to stand still gave researchers \u2014 and their models \u2014 more real-world data to train with than they ever could have hoped for.<\/p>\n<p id=\"d2as3O\">You can find this video and the entire library of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCLXo7UDZvByw2ixzpQCufnA\"><strong>Vox\u2019s videos on our YouTube Channel<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div data-cid=\"site\/article_footer-1682606300_466_2035\" data-cdata=\"{\"base_type\":\"Entry\",\"id\":23462100,\"timestamp\":1682454573,\"published_timestamp\":1682454573,\"show_published_and_updated_timestamps\":false,\"title\":\"How TikTok dances trained an AI to see\",\"type\":\"Article\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/videos\/2023\/4\/25\/23698059\/tiktok-ai-depth-estimation-mannequin-challenge\",\"entry_layout\":{\"key\":\"unison_standard\",\"layout\":\"unison_main\",\"template\":\"standard\"},\"additional_byline\":null,\"authors\":[{\"id\":2358806,\"name\":\"Phil Edwards\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/authors\/phil-edwards\",\"twitter_handle\":\"PhilEdwardsInc\",\"profile_image_url\":\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/WZlh1zmpHFdWw2gPHuMMABAKmRM=\/512x512\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/author_profile_images\/14419\/_MG_4518.0.jpg\",\"title\":\"\",\"email\":\"<span \n                data-original-string='oM8CpuhCeBQbBRmfl9mzcQ==7f4tTu\/jy2+OnO6Kz2TgKgwlZTY95yEz1f4HefM3UOJhY8='\n                class='apbct-email-encoder'\n                title='This contact has been encoded by Anti-Spam by CleanTalk.
